Background, Scope

  • First in class for treatment of neuropathic pain
  • How can a clinical development plan (CDP),

aiming to bridge from Western to Japanese, be designed

  • Assumptions, sensitivity to assumptions
  • Results from Phase I modeling
  • Modeling to support program design
  • Considerations

Sensitivity to ethnic factors:

(Intrinsic and extrinsic) Biomarkers:

  • No biomarkers available.

Efficacy/safety:

  • First in class!
  • Therapeutic index likely to be

narrow Dose response data for Efficacy and safety needed in Japan to bridge results from the West.

Japanese vs Caucasian AUC based

  • n last dose data in MAD and J-MAD
  • Higher AUC in Japanese as

compared to Caucasian.

  • Not explained by body

weight

  • No ethnic difference in

protein binding.

Japanese model prediction Caucasian model prediction

Observed and model predicted AUC/dose for Japanese and Caucasian subjects.

  • Additional studies may be

needed to understand mechanism behind PK-difference to improve predictions.

  • Similar PK-safety relationship for West and Japan, but

limited data (MAD in western and Japanese subjects)

  • Tolerance development to side effect indicated.

Proportion with AE

Model is based on logistic regression with tolerance development. Figure showing proportion of subjects with AE in each dose-grope versus the mean Cmax in that group and the model predicted proportion based on simulation.

Model based assessment of program

Evaluation conditions (what if):

  • 1. Similar exposure response in Caucasian and Japanese
  • 2. Higher potency in Japanese ( e.g. half exposure -> same

effect) Model:

  • 1. PK based on SAD + MAD
  • 2. Placebo model built based on data from previous trials (in-

house and literature).

  • 3. Assumed exposure response model based on literature,

preclinical data and target product profile Decision criteria for phase III:

  • 1. Is there an ethnic difference in exposure response

Criteria to judge adequacy of program:

  • 1. Precision and bias in estimation of optimal dose for

Japanese and Caucasians

  • 2. Power to detect an ethnic difference in exposure response

for Efficacy and Safety

Optimal dose Density

Two fold difference in potency:

Result: Power=95% Optimal dose Density

No difference in potency:

5% of studies with detected difference True Est

  • Repeat for program 1 and 3 and compare outcome, cost and time
  • Different endpoints can be evaluated. E.g. precision of minimum

effective dose.

Important considerations Important considerations

  • The required precision in the ethnic comparison needs

consideration

  • All ethnic groups are important.
  • Modeling can allow estimation of the individual

components of intrinsic/extrinsic factors, using the data more effectively

  • Not all groups will have empirical support. Models built
  • n biological principles can improve predictions. (Eg

data on Koreans in Korea and the west can support prediction of response in Japanese in the West)

  • Acceptance to base dose selection on target exposure is

needed (Phase III dose may not have been studied in

  • ne or both populations)

Optimal dose Density

Two fold difference in potency:

Optimal dose Density

No difference in potency:

True Est Program is more costly and require more patients. Better precision if there is a 2-fold difference and worse if there is no difference.
